A Real Story Behind The Celebration Of Holi As A Festival

There was a demon king named Hiranyakashyap, Who ruled over the whole earth. He had given instructions to everyone to worship him only as he was egocentric. But his son Prahlad was an ardent devotee of Lord Narayana. He never adored his father. Prahlad was saved by Lord Vishnu whenever his father tried to kill him. When the king Hiranyakashyap who could not find any solution, he asked his sister Holika to make Prahlad sit on her lap and enter a blazing fire. Holika was blessed so she could enter the fire unscathed and the king knew this fact and this the reason that he chose Holika for this task. Holika somehow was able to coax Prahlad and made him sit on her lap and entered the fire. Holika was not aware that the blessing bestowed on her would work only if she enters the fire alone. This was a sinful act being done by her. Prahlad came out of the fire unharmed as he kept on chanting the name of god Narayana all the time when he was sitting in the fire. Lord Vishnu blessed him for his sincere and selfless devotion.

The word Holi has evolved from the name Holika. ‘A victory of good over evil’ is the main lesson learnt from the festival of Holi.
